Dennis Aukema, C.P.A.

I was born in New Jersey and raised in Zeeland, Michigan. I graduated from Holland Christian High School and then pursued my accounting major at Central Michigan University and graduated in 1990. My first account job was with Marathon Oil Company in Findlay, Ohio. I started in public accounting in 1993 after working through high school, college and a year sabbatical on a dairy farm in Zeeland, Michigan.

My first public accounting job was with Disselkoen & Company, where I worked for five years and later purchased most of that practice by starting Aukema & Company, PC on June 1, 1998. In the first seven years of business, Aukema & Company, PC was located downtown Holland. In May of 2005, I bought an office building and moved the firm to our current location on 120th on the north side of Holland.

I married my wife, Julie, and have lived in the same house on the north side of Holland since we were married in 1996. We have been blessed two boys who enjoy playing sports (especially football), hunting and fishing. As a family we enjoy hunting, fishing and traveling. We have attended and are actively involved at Borculo Christian Reformed Church since our marriage and have been blessed with the opportunity to send our children to Holland Christian School.
